Oh God! it was the best game in my childhood! I was playing it with my friends. So loved its graphic, its plot! Every time was so interesting to play and complete mini missions. I wish I could have guide like http://gamerwalkthroughs.com/prince-of-persia/ to know all the best features. I'm not surprised she's still popular today.

great game but having trouble hanging onto ledges

is this game properly cracked? I once got to the last level as a kid and then had some kind of challenge question even though the game was supposed to be cracked.

Also, when I click on the manual nothing happens - how do we view the manual?

very nostalgic

depois de 30 anos do lançamento finalmente o principe encontrou a princesa hahaha

Valeu a pena jogar novamente

alguien juega esto? recién entre al sitio y es un mundo nuevo, jamas me apareció en las búsquedas de google. es muy cool encontrar cosas que no están en ningún lado.

Excelente videojuego que cabía en un solo disquete
Me acuerdo que lo llevaba en un disquete de 31/2 a la escuela y matar el rato...

Muy bien emulado y con sonido .

Que mas se puede pedir.

por primera vez en la vida lo puedo jugar en colores y con sonido...

This game amazed me when I was a kid in my green monitor, it still amazes me today. And to think it was made by only one guy. This and so many others like "Out of this World" done by try genius artists... These games are responsible for what games are today.

To add more time to the game:
quit out to the command prompt via ctrl+Q
Then start the game by typing "Prince.exe megahit"
Then when in game you can hit '+' to add time.

Subject: cheats?
Thanks for the game. Back to my 90-s :)
but! how can I add some time here if I play using browser?
I understand that if I run it locally on my PC I can start it using "Prince.exe megahit" but how can I do it here at this site?

Someone posted this on a different thread, super helpful.

UP button........... Prince takes a small hop upwards with arms raised. If there are some loose slabs above you,
hop to touch them and they will fall. Also used to scale ledges and to jump. Note that each
hop will move you slightly forward. In the En Guarde stance (swordfighting), the up button
is used to block an attack.

DOWN button......... Prince ducks on the ground. The crouch will last as long as the button is held.
Used to scale down ledges, and moves you slightly forward with every crouch. In
the En Guarde stance, this will put your sword back in its scabbard. Err...
Did he have a scabbard in the first place? Strange...

LEFT button......... Prince turns to the left. Prince will run forward for a short distance if tapped;
Will run continuously if held.

RIGHT button........ Prince faces the right of the screen. As above, prince runs forward for a short distance if
button is tapped; Runs continuously if button is held.

SHIFT button........ Utility button. Used to hang on to ledges, walk slowly, pick up stuff, and fight.

Spacebar............ Shows you the amount of time you have left. You only have one hour, remember?

Control+R........... Restarts game; Back to the intro screen

Control+A........... Restarts level. This will only reset the current level you are on in case you get stuck.
Note that time will still flow, so if you keep restarting a level for one hour then it's
game over.

Control+S........... Turns sound ON/OFF, along with the music.

Additioal controls (offline version):

Control+G........... Saves game. You have to be at least at Level 3 to save. Anything lower and Prince won't save.
Also note that you can only save a game at a time. Any more and your previous game will be
deleted. To back up your game, copy the Prince.sav file into a different folder, or rename it.

Control+L........... Loads a saved game. Press this during the intro screen.

Control+K........... Sets the controls to Keyboard Mode. Use this if your keyboard doesn't function properly.
Apart from "How to quit the game", I also get the question "I can't move at all" frequently.

Control+J........... Sets the controls to Joystick Mode. Use this to refresh your gamepad/joystick.

Control+Q........... Quits to DOS. People love to ask me about "How to quit the game."

Control+V........... Shows the version of the game. This command isn't included in the manual.

Shift+L............. Skips a level, but leaves you with 15 minutes of time. Note that you can only skip up to Level 4.

Escape button....... Pauses the game. Press again for single-frame movement. Press anything else to resume.

I use to play this game back in the day. And it's still as fun to play today. What great game!

In occasione dell’uscita del film sono uscite anche le costruzioni Lego ispirate al film di Prince of Persia.
Per gli appassionati del film e delle costruzioni questo set per collezionisti è davvero irrinunciabile! Io l'ho trovato qui...

Great! This game I am looking for a long time, always thought that the game name is "Aladdin",
Recently know is called the "prince of persia".
I'm from China. When I was in primary school, the school's computer system using DOS.
At that time, I play very happy with friends.
Today to play now, feel really happy.

BUT in the eighth level to play, there is a long distance jump, really is too difficult. Do not know how to play ?the friends all over the world?
Mail to seseun@163.com please！
Thank you very very much!
I‘d like to make friends with you !
--------------------------------------------
太棒了！ 这个游戏我找了很久了，一直以为游戏名字是“阿拉丁”，
最近上网的时候才知道叫波斯王子。
我来自中国。我在上小学的时候，学校的电脑采用DOS系统。那时候玩的特别开心。今天再次玩到，真实太开心了。
就是玩到第八关，有个很远距离的跳，真是太难了。不知道世界的各位朋友，大家怎么玩的。
我的邮箱是seseun@163.com,
请告诉我，万分感谢！！！
很希望和喜欢这款游戏的人交朋友！

If you are having issue with shift key not working, make sure your numpad is toggled

hello guys!!
Is it possible to save the game?!?

thx in advance!

You can also enjoy some cheats, just holding "ctrl" + "Q" to quit the game, then you type "prince megahit" to load the game again. Once the game starts, use "Shift" + "T" to increase health.

There others cheats, guess.... "Shift" + "W" that you can fall slower. That´s I remember when I had played in the 90's.

Hope you enjoy...

Hi! I adore this game and I'm very lycky to play... But, My "shift" key don't work correctly. How can I do to solve this problem? I use a "sony vaio" laptop and I have window 7. I hope to have an answer, soon! please! Thank u Community.

Karan.mobi is a good android app download site. please visit this site.

I can't figure out how to do the sideways jump on a mac. Anyone know?

Hey guys, a doubt about this site, i can download this game and others games ? save on my computer ?

Regards,

Yuri !

Remember to use the "shift" key on the left side of the keyboard. I use Chrome and the character will "lock" shift if you use the one on the right (under the ENTER key).

Still my favourite game of all time..

The game starts and have sound with Chrome, but the character never runs with left or right arrows, only walks.

Tested on Explorer 11 moves right and runs, but no sound.

On firefox 37 cannot walk, always run. Sound right.

So... I can't play well.

same problem. click begin en I get a black screen, nothing happens...

Same problem. It is happening for all the games. I click on the button to start and I get a black screen. It was working as of a week ago.

i clicked start button in order to begin this game.
but it does not work anything.
just maintain' blank screen.. like freezing screen?

help~! tell me how to begin this game plz..

(win7 user)

Por subir éste juego y por los recuerdos.

Left Shift + L takes you to the next level automatically

j'ai voulus implanter votre jeux sur mon site mais cela ne marche pas ! quant on clic sur start cela me fait un écrans noir ?

It's good to play this again!

I used to play this when a was 5... :)

...and cheat the game.

Hiting the right shift toggles small steps. There's no way you can undo it. I've pressed it accidentaly in the 11th level. >_

The prince takes the sword automatically when needed, but you have to look for it on lvl 1 ;-)

By the way, Great Game, thank you to the uploader and to archive.org for this

Hi.
I can not use the Sword. Has it to something with my browser? I am using Chrome. Using the shift function to take a short step and hang on to ledges works fine. But not to use the Sword.
Any ideas?
/

I remember me playing this on Windows 3.1 and a few years after, I couldn't find it, so I played it on the NES with an emulator, but it looked different. I'm glad I found it here.

Very nice. It was the first game I have ever seen on a PC in 1994 :D

You can also save your game with Ctrl + G and load it in intro screen with Ctrl + L
But if you reload the page, it will be gone...

The game works great until I use the Shift key for the first time (for example, to pick up the sword). After this, the character will only take small steps (I can't run) and also the Shift key does not perform any actions anymore (I cannot fight). I'm playing on an updated Google Chrome on Windows 8.1. Does this happen to anybody else? Any ideas?

Works perfectly. Thanks, Archive.org!

I found a cheats:

LV 1 : at the beginning, turn the prince left ( with the face in front of the grate). Then slide from the L-shift key to the R-shift of your keyboard, silde from tab to enter, silde from backslash to Backspace, silde from the caps lock key to Enter; do this sildes serveral times and at a certain point, when you will silde from the caps lock key to Enter you will go directly in lv 2. Now if you will silde from he capslock key to Enter you will go directly in lv 3. Then you can do the same thins to go in lv 4.

I remember the first time i played this game. I remember the first lever, it was the worst level i have ever played. I played this game on old Amiga, for the first time......... And now its time to rescue the Princess once again.

A trizillion times trying to get to save the princess!

My very first PC game back in the day :)
I spent countless hours with a friend trying to get to the end before the time ran out.

How can we play in cheat mode?
start with prince.exe megahit
